LG 2016 is not build Nexus 5X successor to Google

LG wants to build 2016 no Nexus smartphone for Google. The Nexus 5X from last year will therefore receive no direct successor - at least not from LG. The betrayed on the edge of the MWC 2016 in Barcelona the South Korean manufacturer.

"LG needs to focus on its own brand," said an LG spokesman Roger Cheng of CNET at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona.

Although it was satisfied with the cooperation so far and the results - the Nexus 5 from 2013 and nexus 5X of 2015. The relationship with Google is still good. However, the development of Android smartphones for Google required heavy investment by LG. And one wants to get stuck in future products, the more obvious are from our own spring and embody the LG brand.

Nexus 5X had a hard time with the Nexus 6P

LG says so on the dark side, which brings the development of a Nexus device for Google with it. On the one hand there is the possibility to bring the first smartphone with a new version of Android on the market. On the other hand, the own brand gets into the background. During the first Nexus 5 by LG also was a real crowd pleaser, it had the Nexus 5X from the beginning of serious, since it around the same time with the flashier Nexus 6P released by Huawei.

However, LG will naturally continue to rely on Android and Android Wear. What the manufacturers talking at MWC also held out the prospect is a return of the LG Watch Urbane LTE 2nd Edition. The watch had been taken just a week after its release in November 2015 due to display problems from the market. Even a second SmartWatch you plan for the second half of 2016th

Mobile World Congress: Come 5G Internet still 2016?

With 5G celebrating at MWC 2016 latest wireless standard its premiere. The German Telekom and Samsung demonstrated at the fair for the first time a 5G-transmitting smartphone to smartphone. In the US, first field tests have already begun.

Samsung is one of the pioneers in 5G transmissions.

In addition to new smartphones, the further development of mobile radio standards at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona plays a crucial role. Several companies present at the fair, according to PocketNow its development work in the field 5G Internet, so the successor to the current 4G transmission standard.

Telecom and Samsung show first 5G transmission

One of the great pioneers in the development of 5G transmissions include, for example, the US network operator Verizon and the technology company Ericsson, Nokia, Intel and Qualcomm. but is really interesting cooperation between Samsung and Deutsche Telekom. Both companies have demonstrated the world's first 5G transmission via the mobile Internet from smartphone to smartphone in Barcelona.

two Samsung smartphones were used for between which data were exchanged in ultrafast speed of more than 1.5 gigabits per second. In this example, a 4K video without delays could be transferred from one phone to another. In addition, the devices were able to track the movements of a robot arm from different perspectives accurately.

US network operators assume Vorreiterrolle

The smart phones that were used for the test, it was, however, not to current production models of Samsung, but specially developed models with special antennas. But not only the Telekom is currently testing the first 5G transmissions. In the US mobile operator Verizon has for example already begun to carry out field testing.

Galaxy S7, Galaxy S6 & iPhone 6s in low-light camera comparison

The Galaxy S7 is one of the biggest stars of this year's MWC in Barcelona - and rightly so. Particularly in the smartphone camera Samsung has reworked properly. How strong is the camera of the Galaxy S7 also in poor lighting conditions, a comparison video with the Galaxy S6 and the iPhone 6s.

Smartphone cameras have a fundamental problem: In the ever slimmer devices becoming their only little space is available. but as many pixels are to stay on their small image sensors and small lenses to capture as much light. They succeed a little better from year to year. Never seemed to leap in the quality of low-light shots but as enormous as the Galaxy S7, the all previous flagships can now look old. At the MWC 2016 to Phandroid could get an idea of ​​the enormous differences and make a video comparison with the cameras of Galaxy S7, S6 and Galaxy iPhone 6s.

iPhone 6s delivers the most vulnerable low-light images

In a darkened room Samsung demonstrates how strong is the camera of the new Android flagship even under such adverse circumstances. The comparison with the iPhone 6s decides the Galaxy S7 even more pronounced for himself as the comparison with the previous model Galaxy S6. Apple's smartphone camera captures in this low-light setting a the least light in the photo the model is therefore also seen the worst.

Galaxy S7: Larger aperture & "Dual Pixel" technology

Surprisingly, however, how much the picture is illuminated, which was snapped with the Galaxy S7 is. As Samsung do it? For one set of manufacturers for its new model on a larger lens. Instead of an f / 1.9 aperture like the Galaxy S6 successor scored an f / 1.7 aperture, the iPhone 6s lags with its f / 2.2 optics afterwards. That Samsung reduced the resolution compared to the previous model, the photo quality does not diminish. On the contrary: A new feature is the so-called "Dual Pixel" technology with fewer but larger pixels. Thus, the smartphone camera according to the manufacturer, 95 percent more light capture than the camera of the Galaxy S6. In addition, each individual pixel is used for focusing - which can be found otherwise only in DSLRs.

Incidentally, even in our smartphone camera comparison, the Galaxy S6 Samsung performed slightly better than the iPhone 6s from Apple.

MWC 2016: HP Elite x3 is super strong Windows 10 smartphone

At the MWC 2016 in Barcelona HP presented the Elite x3 its new Windows Phone - and what a! The device is to be an all-rounder: smartphone, laptop and desktop PC. It is therefore also correspondingly powerful.

The display of the HP Elite x3 is 6 inches tall, and turns the device into a full-fledged phablet. The ostentation is also reflected in the interior: Under the hood namely plowing a Snapdragon 820, the top model of manufacturer Qualcomm, which can be operated from rich 4GB of memory. The internal memory of the HP Elite x3 is 64 GB and can even be expanded via microSD card up to even theoretically 2TB, The Verge writes about the device. A few days before the start of MWC 2016 images of Windows smartphones were leaked.

HP Elite x3 has everything: iris scanner plus fingerprint sensor
At the front of the smartphone Boliden sits an iris scanner and on the back also have a fingerprint sensor directly under the camera. It seems that the engineers at HP had just used everything it so specifies components for smartphones. The course is also reflected in the battery size: With 4,150 mAh of energy storage is ample sized. With this information, the HP Elite x3 is significantly more powerful than the not already feeble Microsoft Lumia 950 XL.

The Elite x3 is so lavishly equipped, because HP wants to offer a device that is more than just a phone. For pure phones, the printer manufacturer will hardly be able to compete with the Apple and Samsung in the world - with a universal device that can possibly work. Because the HP Elite x3 runs just with Windows 10 and can therefore Continuum. Thus, the device can connect to a monitor and then works - almost - like a regular computer or laptop with Windows 10th

Perhaps it is this function that could more people cause soon to take up a Continuum device. But: Currently running on smartphones with Windows 10 no desktop apps. One solution from HP is extremely hard to set up and not really suitable for the average Joe user. What so much expensive equipment will cost in the end, HP did not want to let on, because the device will be presented at MWC 2016 months before the planned publication - even so other apps can now be programmed. Because it since quite interesting launch of the Lumia 950 XL is still lacking from Microsoft. In terms of apps has happened in the Windows Store is still not much.
